Why did you decide to stay in Serbia?

Because of family, friends and colleagues with whom I work every day, and who bring me joy. Of course, the development of my career was also influenced by faculty, which I wanted to finish and which was a good starting point for my first job and specialization, so I would point out that the choice I made then was the right one. Today, I am in this position thanks to that education, but also companies that trust young people, allow creativity, motivate and stimulate further personal development. I believe that everyone with a good motivation and support of the environment can succeed and realize their dreams, because a positive approach and team spirit open every door.
